Welcome to the Middlesex County Hazard Mitigation Planning (HMP) Project Website. The Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholders and each Municipality in the County adopted the All-Hazards Mitigation Plan in original plan on January 14, 2011. This updated plan, approved on January 17, 2016 allows each participating municipality to qualify for mitigation grant programs, expires in 2020. The County is continually leading an effort to update this plan, in accordance with state and federal standards 44 CFR 201.6.d.3.

The primary goal of the HMP update is to learn from the past five years and reduce potential losses from future storm events and other natural hazards. As part of the update process, county staff from various departments, municipalities, and stakeholders in the community will work together to identify risks, quantify those risks, assess existing County and Municipal capabilities, and create a strategy and actions to reduce vulnerability.
